Answer:

Mid grade gas per gallon = $2.67

Regular gas per gallon = $2.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, x= mid grade gas, y=regular gas.

So, for 18 gallons of mid grade gas and 5 gallon of regular gas at $59.91, it can be expressed as,

18x+5y=59.91  ------------------(equation 1)

for 14 gallon of mid grade gas and 1 gallon of regular gas at 39.75, it can be expressed as,

14x+y=39.75  -------------------(equation 2)

y=39.75-14x  -------------------(equation 3)

Now substituting the value of y from (equation 3) in (equation 1) we get,

18x+5y=59.91

18x+5(39.75-14x)=59.91

18x+198.75-70x=59.91

52x=198.75-59.91

52x=138.84

x=\frac{138.84}{52}

x=2.67  -------------------------(equation 4)

Now substituting value of x from (equation 4) in (equation 3) we get,

y=39.75-14x

y=39.75-(14\times2.67)

y=39.75-37.38

y=2.37

Therefore price per gallon of mid grade gas is x = $2.67, and price per gallon of regular gas y = $2.37.
